At the beginning of time, Beings rose from the earth and exclaimed, “I Am”! They each sang out their name, I am Snake, I am kangaroo.Thus, they created their sacred songs and began moving across the barren earth bringing all things into being by mentioning their name.

As they walked about, they sang mountains, rivers and all beings into existence. Wherever they went they created the Dream time. After all things were created, the beings sang themselves back into the earth where they can be seen as land formations. Sleeping.Semon Deeb Desert artist

Aboriginal artreally involves story telling, myths, rituals, sorcery, and magic, where the artist describes their Dreaming, the stories of creation, their beliefs, and their spirituality. The strong relationship between the ancestral beings of the‘time before time’, the Dreamtime, with the landscape and every living creature they created forms the basis for thisart. The ancestral spirits came to a land devoid of features and created everything — the rivers, hills, plants, animals,people, and the relationships between people and animals. When finished, they changed into landforms, animals, stars,or other objects. To the Aboriginal people, the past is still alive and will remain so into the future

Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to get something done.
